Has Ancestry broken the adjacent counties setting?

[melba_schmelba]

Just trying to do some searches for baptisms and marriages in Middlesex and adjacent counties, comes up with Lancashire, Cheshire, Hampshire  . So searching for a common name is now absolutely useless .

[melba_schmelba]

Now trying to specify any county, seems to trigger endless errors "We’re sorry, this page is no longer available.", is anyone else getting this ? To explain clearly

going to
Birth, Marriage & Death, including Parish

entering a name and date, enter nothing in the Location box - you get results

entering a name and date, enter a county in the Location box - you get repeated

"We’re sorry, this page is no longer available."

I think Ancestry is just 'broken' this evening.

Same for the last 2 hrs, unable to get into census..but seems ok now.  Apologies banner up while they worked on it, has gone for the mo.

Thanks both, still getting random errors, but the adjacent counties search setting is still universally broken - it seems to almost return ALL counties if you select the 'County and adjacent counties' option.

Is any still getting probs with Ancestry. It has not been right since this thread started.

Now and again it gives..

We’re sorry, this page is no longer available.

Have to go back a page and try again, or go in through historical records

A right pain...

Yes, been getting them all day, keep having to reload which sometimes works, sometimes not, very annoying!! Not sure what they broke, but it seems rather critical  . Pretty unbelievable when you look at the profits of this company and the executive pay, the website operation and reliability is seeming to get worse and worse by the year .

And of course county boundaries have changed over the years, so, for example, my father, born in south Lancashire, is now shown as having been born in Cheshire!  For a proud Lancastrian that's an insult.  Relatives living in North Lancs were transposed into Cumbria. I was born in Rochdale which is now shown as being in Greater Mancester.   It doesn't help with the searching.

Issues still not fixed, getting constant errors  .
